Duplicate entries for G930 headset

Created attachment 334847 [details] Screenshot Hi, In gnome-control-center, I see my Logitech G930 wireless headset twice, once with the name "Digital output (S/PDIF) G930" and once with "Analogic output G930" I guess that should only be one entry?

Does it show up as two different sound cards in the "Output Devices" tab of pavucontrol? If so, there's nothing much we can do. Ideally, PulseAudio would merge the 2 sound cards into one, and offer the digital output as a separate profile for it.
Created attachment 334924 [details] pactl list pavucontrol only shows one G930 cards but the weird thing is that it only shows the analogical port not the digital I've attached here the output of pactl list
Actually it's not only the G930 headset, the "Audio interne" card is also duplicated
It's not a bug, the card has 2 ports, and we unroll the cards and ports in this list, to avoid having 2 drop-downs per hardware, and make it easier to switch between, for example, an internal speaker and the jack. You could argue that switching between the analogue and digital outputs should be automatic, and I would certainly agree that this would clean up our interface, but that's a problem that can only be solved in PulseAudio and layers underneath it. Please file a bug against PulseAudio mentioning the above, that's the best way to drain that swamp.
